A Note Regarding Obama's Inaugural Grammar

Obama is not my president. I most emphatically do not want a president. I voted for no one and I desire no one in that position of power.

So no matter how soaring the rhetoric, how grandiose the dreams described, or how awesome and wonderful everything will be if we just follow his plan, just remember that every time he uses plurals like "we" or "our" he is simply not telling the truth.

It's a small point to make in the face of all the CHANGE coming this way, but it matters. Language is important and deceptive pronouns are a big part of the problem.
